Shape Fluctuations of Growing Droplets and Random Matrix Theory
11:30am|S-101

We explain an exact solution of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with sharp wedge initial data. Physically this solution describes the shape fluctuations of a thin film droplet formed by the stable phase expanding into the unstable...

Niebur Integrals and Mock Automorphic Forms
Wladimir de Azevedo Pribitkin
4:30pm|S-101

Among the bounty of brilliancies bequeathed to humanity by Srinivasa Ramanujan, the circle method and the notion of mock theta functions strike wonder and spark intrigue in number theorists fresh and seasoned alike. The former creation was honed to...

Galois Representations and Automorphic Forms Seminar

p-Adic Analytic Continuation of Genus 2 Overconvergent Hilbert Eigenforms in the Inert Case
2:15pm|S-101

A well known result of Coleman says that p-adic overconvergent (ellitpic) eigenforms of small slope are actually classical modular forms. Now consider an overconvergent p-adic Hilbert eigenform F for a totally real field L. When p is totally split...

Periods Over Spherical Subgroups: An Extension of Some of the Langlands Conjectures
3:30pm|S-101

Periods of automorphic forms over spherical subgroups tend to: (1) distinguish images of functorial lifts and (2) give information about L-functions. This raises the following questions, given a spherical variety X=H\G: Locally, which irreducible...
